The problem is, babies often wake up at night not because of hunger or other disorders, but as revealed in his book Sleep Siobhan Stirling, most babies wake up at night because sleep phase change, from deep sleep to light sleep.
Light sleep or REM sleep (rapid eye movement) sleep is a condition characterized by, among others, irregular breathing, the body tends to tense, and eyeballs moving beneath the eyelid. In this condition, the baby easily awakened from his sleep. This type of sleep experienced by infants from age 6-7 months in the womb. The majority of normal infants in a state of REM sleep.
Conversely, deep sleep or non-REM state is characterized by very casual, relaxed, lying on your heart rate and breathing regularly, and almost was not dreaming. It’s hard to wake the baby in this sleep phase.
Babies will experience a phase change from REM sleep to non-REM. Newborns, for example, it will enter a phase of REM sleep, but 20 minutes later through a phase of non-REM sleep. Built during the phase displacement is common. When awakened, the baby may be crying and looking for the mother. Not infrequently, mothers hold the baby and then breastfeed or many times, of course, interfere with sleep quality. Every few hours, the mother or father should wake up and calm the baby.

Do it the next night. Slowly increase the lag time before checking the state of the baby. For example, do not come back to see your baby before the 10 minutes expire, and then lengthen the time until a maximum of 25 minutes. On the third night, after 15 minutes of new mothers could see a baby in the crib, then the gap extended to 30 minutes, and so on.
